Another grey and cloudy day, I'm so glad I decided not to pack away these blue tights with the rest of my winter things. It always seems to be the case that I pack up my cold weather gear in anticipation of summer, and BOOM, it's cold, dark and rainy the next day. I guess that's what you get with New England. I wanted to keep things summery but warm today, so I chose to go a little nautical. I love tan, blue and white together, and adding just a small pop of red (rather than red tights) keeps things from getting too 4th of July.

I got these awesome shoes at the swap last week:

I honestly don't have too much to say today, I always feel so weird about sharing the not-so-good side of life on this blog (I am afraid of boring people) but honestly work and life both have me run into the ground. Chris and I may be getting a new car soon, our Volvo has been having countless problems lately which makes me sad and I think it's just time to cut our losses. I hate looking for new cars, it took me nearly a month to settle on the one I have now and other than the major (expensive too) issues it's had, I really like it. I'm really looking forward to another weekend with no plans! Sorry for the rant, I've had an amazingly long day.

I also hate looking for new cars. I always fall in love with the wrong ones (ie old ones, ones with problems, ones with smells, ones that are too far out of my price range). What sort of car are you looking for? Do you have any specifics? I find looking online first is a good start. It helps you not only narrow down what you want but it also helps you compare with out being harassed by crazy salespeople!

Very cute outfit, as always! Sorry about the car. Several years ago my husband and I were able to purchase a car through a local auction. It worked out well. It was a leased car, so it was well maintained, fairly low mileage, no salespeople to deal with and best of all, we didn't have to sell any internal organs to pay for it. Good luck in your search.

aww don't worry, the not-so-good side of life is what blogging is all about. to present an entirely one-sided, optimistic portrait of ourselves wouldn't be real! and i can say that i'm definitely inspired by bloggers' honesty and how they can really express themselves through those crappy days. hope the car shopping goes well, don't worry you'll find a new baby!

Breton stripes are everywhere these days!! Its a revolution. Love the outfit - I'm with you on these rainy days in MA - can't the weather just make up its mind?? Although, I figure if I have to be at work, it might as well be crummy out. Tomorrow's supposed to be 80, and I'm sure it will be tough to be indoors at my desk when I know its beautiful and sunny outside!

Love the blue tights with the blue skirt - it's such a unexpected and chic thing to have them match! Guh, car problems are the worst, mine was totaled in a hit-and-run but is still drivable, but I know the next thing that breaks or happens means I have to go find a new one and I don't want to deal with it!

sorry to hear that you are down, i hope you cheer up soon, and maybe you and chris could plan a little road trip to get acquainted with your new car (when you get it. that way you will instantly have a good memory associated with it!)
